So yesterday I weas lucky enuf to get off work early which was good because I had a 2hr drive to Kitchener/Waterloo Ontario to have a look at two Pedersoli .32cal muzzleloaders.
I arrived at the store and was quickly asked for help. I mentioned to the salesperson that I had spoke on the phone and that there were 2 .32's left. So the 1st one was brought out while the other was looked for. It was a Frontier flintlock.
I took it out of the box and carefully studied the action, the barrel, surface of wood stock and brought it up to my shoulder many times, imagining a bunny or squirrel within range, peering down the long barrel and and lining up the sights.......It was instant....I'd been had....."this was the one!!"
Soon after the salesman came back with the other .32, "i finally found it, it was upstairs packed in the far corner behind a bunch of other cartons". No need I said, but for your troubles I will have a look but I've made up my mind already :grin:
I picked out all the accesories that I figured I'd need; Primer flask, cleaning kit (flintlocks), leather patches (flints), leather frizzen cover, .32 cal balls, FFFFG powder; and flints (7/8).
I'm in deep now..I know it....I can feel it......what have I done!!
Pics up soon :wink:
